There is also work to do in the evolution of a stable family life and values, and in ensuring that the Nigerian family is built on core values that will form the bedrock of the future society. We must showcase the ideals of family life and be models of family values.
I still believe there is a need to open up search and it will come eventually. It is very important to challenge the current models.
